So I guess its a new garage because its attached to a new house you just moved in to ! I didn't think you would be daft enough to build a garage that's too short for the zed that's to go in it. I'm also guessing its the wife who picked the house mostly as a man would have checked out the measurement's of the garage first and bought the house to match !:biggrin:

Just got the zed back from the garage and all was good, thoroughly enjoyed the brisk 5 min journey back to the work. The alignment in the end cost me £160 as they had to fix a few extras on the way but i'm more than happy apart from a small adjustment on the rears in that the ride height is way to low for the wheel arches. About 1cm or close to it I would say so a tad rubbing when the average bump comes along. Just need that fixed by raising it up a bit and I can move onto the bodywork. I'll post up some pics shortly as I love the new profile I've got with the body of the zed.

I've run a secondary live from the right pod with a switch and converted both the upper and lower parts of the center panels parts to leds. Looks the bizz

Should be good for it this year !

Got new skirts up my loft which i will eventually get fitted; i just wanted to get all the under work done first.

Another update : I called the garage today just to touch base and the mechanic whos aligning my zed to make it road worthy said everything is good. Should be finished by end of day for a miday collection when i get time tomorrow. He also pointed out thats its not very often he sees any sort of car that can be adjusted in so many ways; so big shoutout for Driftworks ! He also pointed out that i need the front droplinks replaced as theres exess movement in them and he asked when the last MOT was done which was only a few weeks and that the zed should have failed on them which i was very surprised. Anyways new droplinks ordered from mjp and on order which i can fit myself. Finally get to pick her up at some point tomorrow which i can't wait for.

Any guides ?

And a delayed welcome to the club and now being a subbed member !

are you sure the other breaker just had a manual conversion so would have auto tubs too !

Again, sorry, as i said Andy is currently offline and little access to the forums so we have no way to confirm your subscription. I have activated you anyway as theres no reason to believe the transfer did not happen but i still need Andy to confirm.

Sorry, not heard from Andy, i will activate you now !

As I even though its on a funny note I don't think we should glorify terrorism and what happened.

In respect of 911 I deleted that last post !

Happy birthday buddy!

Happy birthday buddy!

So my zed got lo loaded this morning and shipped off to get its alignment done; it was scary putting it on the loader as we had to use planks as the front bumper would have badly scraped if we forced it on so after the front wheels were on we raided the platform and slowly drove the rest of her safely onto the ramp. It was very chilly this morning so took a bit of persuasion to defrost the old girl.

I've been concentrating on all the mechanic works of the suspension and wheels at the moment and to be honest the rest of the zed outside looks sh%te, so after this i can look forward to body upgrades

Yeh, I've been so eager to get it back on the road as it was my daily and i've been car sharing since march with the wifes bug !

Well its been a long time going since i posted up about my zed so with some good news i'd thought i'd best do it. My zed's been off the road now since mid march and over the last four month i've struggled to get by and at a few stages i even nearly gave up completely. At the start of the year i had ordered my driftworks rear hicas bypass which started all my issues when i couldn't prise the ball joint off the knuckle or hub carrier as some of you call it; after trying multple methods i took it to a local engineering works who took a burner too it and slowly pushed them out with some burny hot heat. Problem is they also managed to melt the aluminuim enough that i didn't trust the look or now unknown strength of said parts; so after salvaging some spares i sent them down to Jeff to get the profesionals to fix it which after only two days they were back in my hands and then fitted to my zed - Hicas Swap Done !! Next came the rear wishbones which had been advised on my last MOT to be changed and with the new one due within a month i enquired as to there costs; as i was totally blown away with cost of nissan oem units i again went with driftworks and ordered them up too. After they were swapped out and after finding out i got a fairly big bonus that month i decided what the hell i'm more than 1/2 way so lets do the whole hog so i ordered up the fronts too and replaced the lot. All the above with no spare time on my hands or cash at first took nearly 6 months and just a day before JAE {thurs} i had the zed booked in for a 4 wheel alignment which at this point i was very excited about only to discover at pickup time that the garage refused to do the setup as it was too complicated and they did not book enough time in their work slot to do the job - i was more annoyed that they waited till i came back 4 hours later rather than just call me. So JAE came and i drove down in my daily minus the zed and when i came back i was back to the drawing board. Now on the recomendation of the previous garage i was told of a place to go next as they could fix it all but again after a few weeks or calls to them and no calls back it was obvious that they had any interest in doing it either. After another month of searching local establishments i finally found a company near by that will do the job so in the morning my zed is getting picked up by lo loader and transported to fianlly get its wheels all aligned. I'll upload the journey of the zed tomorrow when she gets shipped off !
